Road Show, Yo!

So, back in August i was called to be our Ward's Road Show Specialist!! A Calling i had been praying for... (yes, i'm that kind of crazy person!) but DUDES, I LIVE for this kind of life... scripts, props, wild rehearsals... bribing youth with treats... (a little place i call heaven!)

So, this is what the Bishop handed me in aug... and said, "Ready, GO!"

Theme:
Mormon T.V. (What T.V. Should be...)
Requirements: To chose a T.V. show and make it 'Mormon-ish"... no longer than 13 minutes long. Each show must include: super hero, cornucopia, monkey, Twinkie, a line from the "For The Strength of Youth Pamphlet", and at least one group song with rewritten words and dance moves!

Up for the Challenge?? OF COURSE WE ARE!!!
